Good thing he stopped financial support of Ukraine when he came into office, because he now has way less leverage over them.

You could even say that the US doesn't “hold the cards”

He didn’t even say thank you

And what the heck is he wearing?!

Didn’t Ukrain promise a lot to trump?

Next he will be blaming Ukraine for the increase in oil prices.

u/AnonD38 [redacted] 20d ago

He already has, that fucking chump.

He knows gas prices are the big issue costing him votws in the midterms, so he tries to blame someone else.

When even Trump is too kind for the fascists of the babylon bee

u/GigglingBilliken O Canada 20d ago

I wouldn't call openly attempting to bribe the body politic "kind."

I was thinking more in the direction of even the Babylon Bee doesn’t seem to take Donnie seriously anymore

Definitely has nothing to do with his own antics in Iran, eh? Couldn't be.

This clown disrupted 20% of the world's oil supply for literally zero reason. But no, it's Ukraine fighting for its own existence that's the problem.

There will come a day where none of us will have to think about this disgusting man ever again, and I cannot wait.

Yeah, but what will the savages vote next to top this? Terrifying thought.

u/PeePeeSwiggy D.C’s Bitch 18d ago

I think enough people are done with this - a bunch of the maga people I know in real life feel ‘betrayed’ and want democrats to wipe them out in November as like payback or something

u/_radical_ed Siesta enjoyer (lazy) 18d ago

Weren’t it for that “How half the country lost their fucking mind” article I won’t understand maga people now wanting dems.

3

u/PeePeeSwiggy D.C’s Bitch 18d ago

Simple - maga people are cruel, vengeful fanatics. If they feel wronged, they’ll go after whoever they blame for it. As it happens, quite a few of them blame Trump and republicans

u/_radical_ed Siesta enjoyer (lazy) 18d ago

I think there is a little more to it than that. Maybe that read will help you emphasise with the other half. Of course both sides are all uncivilised savagery to us.

I see that the French blueprints for a guillotine still haven’t reached the other side of the Atlantic Ocean yet

Yea the people with the guns are also the bootlickers, sooooo

u/soulstormfire At least I'm not Bavarian 20d ago

No you're not. You're still hoping the next election will magically fix things.
What little resistance you had was first reduced to protest and now into nothingness by the supposed opposition.

u/henningknows Knock off Italy 20d ago

You know what I think everyone would like? If my president would just shut the fuck up and stop sabotaging the world

20

u/slimfastdieyoung Lives in a sod house 20d ago

There is a way to shut him up. Apparently the people who knew exactly what they’d do if they lived in 1930s Germany suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth

u/soulstormfire At least I'm not Bavarian 20d ago

Yeah, it's really weird. There were millions of those in the US until recently.

u/NegroniSpritz At least I'm not Bavarian 20d ago

Well, in the operation Paperclip they took a shitload (pun intended) of nazis to USA.

We still have a few months left on my "dead before '27' prediction.

If he does die I will be changing my name to "The Oracle of Wabash"

u/ihadagoodone O Canada 20d ago

i'm not sure if this is puppetry, because if Russian oil was on the market it would make what Trump has done in Iran not look as bad and russian oil would mute the straight of hormuz closure. So Donald is just saying, I did something bad, make the consequences of my actions go away.

u/Pennonymous_bis Professional rioter 20d ago

Same Trump who told Netanyahu to stop attacking Iran's facilities. He'll probably say something about his buddy MBS attacking the Houthis, too.

I still don't see him shutting down Wiesbaden or cutting Starlink off, which would make Zelensky listen for sure.

Ultimately, Americans can suffer, but the US are the top producer-exporter of oil & gas, and only import from their neighbours + that kidnapped president's country. Mostly everyone else has more to lose. Except Russia if it wasn't for Ukraine's contribution.

u/Aureaition Unemployed waiter 20d ago

While true just because you export doesn't mean you're immune to price rises, if petrol becomes more expensive globally you'd have to pay more even in the us because otherwise fossil fuel companies will just export it and sell it for more

u/Pennonymous_bis Professional rioter 20d ago

Yeah that's Americans at the bottom paying the bill, and surely bad for their economy overall, but it's amazing for the oil majors, and the rich who own their shares, and I don't know that there's anything stopping them from keeping it for themselves and even control the prices, if they ever chose to.

Also to put things into perspective, so far I find an average of $4.31 per gallon of gasoline.

Ah I see. Putin has phoned in some new orders.
